Last year, former Uganda’s Deputy Ambassador to the United States, Dickson Ogwang filed for divorce after enduring a horrible marriage for over 7 years.

Ambassador Ogwang, who is now working in the Diaspora Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was married to Miriam Otengo, who also works with the same ministry until 2018 when the marriage collapsed after the latter accused the former of domestic violence while they were in U.S, prompting the ambassador to be harshly recalled. Together, Ogwang and Otengo have two kids; Esther Randi Ogwang aged 8years and Solomon Mukombozi Ogwang aged 7years.

The two had their traditional marriage in 2011 before having a civil marriage in April 09, 2014 at the Registry of Marriages in Kampala.

Despite efforts to save their marriage, Amb.Ogwang decided to move on and officially dissolve his 7year marriage with Otengo.

Subsequently, he officially filed for divorce with Otengo and among others, he seeking custody of their two beautiful kids who treasure their father like gold.

“That while in Uganda, the respondent (Otengo) embarked on acts of inconsistent of a married woman. This included in getting involved in extra-marital affairs with a Kenyan man she only called Onyango. She also got involved in partying, orgies and pornography,” Ogwang’s petition reads in part adding that due to the cruelty, assaults, slander, defamation, abusive phone messages and calls from Otengo, the marriage has “irretrievably broken down.”

Ogwang also accused Otengo of harsh and cruel treatment including physical assaults, threatening violence and slander.

SENT TO LONDON

Meanwhile, we have established that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sent Otengo to London.

Sources say she was received by Julius Peter Moto Tuesday and has been assigned to the commercial diplomacy unit at the London Mission.

Otengo, former Senior Private Secretary to the President is the young sister to Rebecca Amuge Otengo who is the current ambassador of Uganda in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
